17. Potential Outfall Discharge Requirements –California Ocean Plan identifies for brine discharge receiving water limit of 2 ppt above natural background (no greater than 100 meters from discharge point) –Recycled water system brine concentrations are significantly lower than the salinity of seawater and thus should easily comply with this requirement Anticipated NDPES Discharge Requirements 1 ParameterBODTSS Average Monthly (mg/L)30 Average Weekly (mg/L)45 30-Day Average Percent Removal (%) >85% Treatment and Regulatory Overview 1 Morro Bay Cayucos Facilities Master Plan Amendment 2 (MWH 2010), Clean Water Act (133.102)
